Description

When Firejail is enabled (sudo firecfg) and Wayland session is used in either Gnome 45 or KDE 5.27.10 we get:

When Pipewire Screen capture is turned on we get a blank screen.
The following error shows in the terminal:

info: Loaded scenes:
info: - scene 'Scene':
info:     - source: 'Screen Capture (PipeWire)' (pipewire-desktop-capture-source)
info: ------------------------------------------------
error: [pipewire] Error creating screencast session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Portal operation not allowed: Unable to open /proc/10609/root
info: adding 21 milliseconds of audio buffering, total audio buffering is now 21 milliseconds (source: Mic/Aux)

If I use (sudo firecfg --clean) to disable firejail, OBS will be able to capture the screen.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Log into Gnome or KDE with a Wayland Session.
Firejail is Enabled.
Open Terminal and launch OBS with "obs' command.
The Pipewire Screen capture option will be enabled. The following will show in the terminal:

Expected behavior

OBS should start and show you a preview of the screen you wish to record.

Actual behavior

OBS starts but there is a blank black screen with the reported GDBUS.Error.

Behavior without a profile

In terminal I tried launching OBS with "obs --noprofile" and still I was getting a black screen for screen recorder preview.

Checklist

The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
- I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
I used --profile=PROFILENAME to set the right profile. (Only relevant for AppImages)

What happens if you add the following to ~/.config/firejail/obs.local?

# Allow lua (blacklisted by disable-interpreters.inc)
include allow-lua.inc

@rsramkis

Note that firejail now keeps the pipewire group (see #5992) if that's the
issue.

Does it work with firejail-git?

Was this setup working in a previous version of the program/environment?

If so, which versions were used?

Behavior without a profile

In terminal I tried launching OBS with "obs --noprofile" and still I was
getting a black screen for screen recorder preview.

What is the output of the following?

firejail --noprofile /usr/bin/obs

firejail --profile=noprofile /usr/bin/obs

Good Morning Kelvin,

Thank you for your feedback. I will answer your questions below:

I don't use obs that often (maybe couple times a year when I am testing something between updates). Most of the time I am in Gnome desktop, I use the built in screen capture utility (press print screen) and then take a still or use video recording which still works now.
I ended up testing obs last night because of the recent update to 30.0.0-1 as well as it moving to qt6. Thats when I notice obs could not screen capture but Gnome Screen recorder was working. OBS was seeing my audio and mic, just no video.
I have not tested firejail-git yet. Question, when will the current approved changes go into a final release? Usually I wait for that.
What is the output of the following:

Note:

I commented all entries in the obs.local file out.
When I ran the two below commands the screen capture and audio were working.

(a) firejail --noprofile /usr/bin/obs

Good Morning Kelvin,

Thank you for your feedback. I will answer your questions below:

I don't use obs that often (maybe couple times a year when I am testing
something between updates). Most of the time I am in Gnome desktop, I use
the built in screen capture utility (press print screen) and then take a
still or use video recording which still works now.

I ended up testing obs last night because of the recent update to 30.0.0-1
as well as it moving to qt6. Thats when I notice obs could not screen
capture but Gnome Screen recorder was working. OBS was seeing my audio and
mic, just no video.

Greetings.

I see, thanks for the details.

I have not tested firejail-git yet.

If you could test it later it would be helpful to know whether the profile
works as is with pipewire or if noroot or other changes are needed.

You could install firejail-git from the AUR, test and then reinstall firejail.

Also, what is the output of groups?

Question, when will the current approved changes go into a final release?
Usually I wait for that.

From #6065, it looks like it will be in January.

Since firejail is aiming for January 2024, can we hold this bug open and I will re-test then? Just I use firejail system wide and I'd like to do a more comprehensive test.

Hi Kelvin,

I wanted to provide you with an update after a firejail update came down via Arch Repositories (stable):

❯ firejail --version
firejail version 0.9.72

Compile time support:
        - always force nonewprivs support is disabled
        - AppArmor support is enabled
        - AppImage support is enabled
        - chroot support is enabled
        - D-BUS proxy support is enabled
        - file transfer support is enabled
        - firetunnel support is disabled
        - IDS support is disabled
        - networking support is enabled
        - output logging is enabled
        - overlayfs support is disabled
        - private-home support is enabled
        - private-cache and tmpfs as user enabled
        - SELinux support is disabled
        - user namespace support is enabled
        - X11 sandboxing support is enabled

Looks like I still have to use the obs.local file with the line "ignore noroot" in it to allow obs to see my screen for capture.

I still see this error when obs starts:
